Chemistry - Polymer Question with Solution | TestHub

Polymers are classified based on their source into natural, synthetic, and semisynthetic polymers.

Natural polymers are obtained from nature (plants and animals). Example: Wool.

Synthetic polymers are artificially prepared in the laboratory. Examples: Dacron, Nylon 6.

Semisynthetic polymers are derived from naturally occurring polymers by chemical modifications. Cellulose nitrate is prepared by the nitration of natural cellulose, making it a semisynthetic polymer.

Answer: Cellulose nitrate
